President Obama’s deputy campaign manager denied today that the September 11 terrorist attack in Benghazi, during which the U.S. Ambassador to Libya was killed, amounted to a ‘foreign policy failure’ for her boss.
“Will the president concede this was a foreign policy failure?” NBC’s Willie Geist asked Stephanie Cutter this morning in anticipation of the debate tonight.
“No,” Cutter replied. “We live in a dangerous world. Any time American lives are lost, it’s a terrible tragedy. And the president acted quickly to make sure that every other embassy was protected, we’re getting to the bottom of it, and we need to work this investigation through. It’s really important that we not politicize this process.”The investigation to which Cutter alluded — especially the State Department’s Accountability Review Board — will not be completed until after the election.
Cutter’s attempt to distance the attack from Obama’s foreign policy comports with Obama’s public commentary on the attack since it took place.
The day after the assault, the president suggested that Stevens and the three other murdered Americans died because of a protest against an anti-Islam Youtube video that, his story suggested, had turned violent.

"there are no American soldiers in Baghdad"
How about a Commander-In-Chief failure?
Well, they have a point.
It wasn;t a foreign policy failure.
It was a MASSIVE foreign policy failure, a massive failure of leadership, and a violation of a Presidential oath.
Fighting. Dying. For six hours. In two loactions.
Expecting the cavalry to come.
And they weren’t sent.
Wow. Supporting terrorists, Bombing Libya without Congressional authority, then leaving an Ambassador to die in a deadly place with no security isn’t a foreign policy disaster?
No. It was because his co-religionists had nothing to fear from him. They knew that he would go to bat for them, defending them, and blaming their savagery on a stupid video.
I’M SICK OF THIS BASTARD TAKING US FOR STUPID IDIOTS!
Me, I put the exclamation point after "Bast@rd".
I’m calling this admin a total Cutter-Fluke.
It was an ‘Obama & his Administration’ failure
very apt lol
Absolutely no failure here, so move along. Having our embassy go up in flames and our ambassador sodomized, murdered and his corpse dragged through the streets by Muslim mobs is a foreign policy success in Obama’s world.
There is a Rumor about an ARMS DEAL with AL QUADA and the Obama regime......anyone know anything??
“We live in a dangerous world.

made all the more so by idiots with agendas, blind to reality.
NOW SHUT THE HELL UP EVERYBODY/s
What they mean: "we just can't keep up with all the LIES we've told, and especially hard when you recognize the lies and call us on it. It is hard work as MOOCH says. Damn, Clinton had it so easy, compared to this."
Espionage!!!
For once, Cutter is telling the truth. Benghazi is only a foreign policy failure if you SUPPORT the United States.
If you are a Marxist, Islamic-sympathizer, then Benghazi might very well be a victory.
I wonder if Hussein will celebrate by firing his AK into the air?
so... according to obama, it was a foriegn policy SUCCESS???? wonder what the objectives were...
The Deputy Campaign Manager who is running a disastrously failed campaign says their foreign policy wasn’t a failure!
Ha!
Hope he has his “Will Work For Food” sign ready.
That’s the whole premise behind the “Forward” campaign.
When you fail miserably at anything, just deny it, and look
forward.
